    Was thinking this the other day and then I remembered they did that with Shockwave. Forgot about Magnus!

    It’d definitely be cool if they did that more, but not if it means losing the option of that wrist pivot. Strangely MP-34 has the wrist pivot AND his hands can come out of his forearms, wonder if they had something planned there...



    My point was MP-1 was closer to the toon, but actually with those squared off corners he wasn’t all that close after all.

    I did a Google search of semi trucks and I agree.

    Apparently, people expect that part of the truck to be clean and Tesla beautiful for some odd reason.

    Yeah my disdain for MP44's junk in the trunk has literally vanished now.

    No but I just wanna do weird stuff with him.
    Maybe don’t charge $500 and stay closer to $200 but yeah a galvatron would be nice. If only to get a galvatron II deco. That’d sell.
    Yeah optional hands would be good. But the hand articulation and sculpt have improved a great deal. I guess they just don’t wanna partsform on these guys.

    They can do it like some of the real grade gundams: they have poseable hands and swappable hands for your liking.

    Yeah. And if they had the perfect sculpt of prime and megs it’d be great. I hope someone makes a set of options. I’d buy them.

    MP-44's arms are shorter, aren't they?

    These pics are great. One thing that concerns me, and the bottom picture almost confirms it, is the ear pieces on Optimus' helmet are rubber. I really hope this isn't a final thing, because they look almost transparent. Maybe I'm wrong.

    I'm hoping the prototype has the rubber ears due to the possibility of it being handled (not gently) so much during the Con. The more I look at em' they look rubber.

    I can’t imagine TT letting him out the door with antennae looking like that.
